Moisture Determination Balance
Product Code : EL-STLE-10410
Moisture Determination Balance (code EL-STLE-10410) is an instrument that dries and weighs a solid sample automatically and at the same time to determine its moisture content. It shows weight and percentage moisture loss continuously throughout the cycle, has a capacity and resolution of 160 g × 0.001 g and a 0-99 minute timer in 1 minute steps, measures 194 × 340 × 235 mm and weighs about 11.5 kg.

What Is the Moisture Determination Balance Used For?
Moisture content expresses the water held in a material as a percentage of its mass, and it affects how soils and many other solids behave in testing and processing. Instead of weighing a sample, drying it in an oven and weighing it again later, the balance dries the sample on its pan while weighing it continuously, so the operator sees the falling weight and the percentage moisture loss as drying proceeds. The operator spreads a small sample of up to 160 g on the pan, sets the timer between 0 and 99 minutes and reads the final moisture loss when the cycle ends.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of moisture determination balances required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the balance display during a test?
It gives a continuous direct readout of both the weight and the percentage moisture loss through the entire drying cycle.
What are the capacity and resolution?
The balance has a capacity of 160 g with a resolution of 0.001 g, which suits small solid samples.
How long can the drying cycle be set for?
The built-in timer can be set from 0 to 99 minutes in 1 minute intervals, after which the final moisture loss is read.
What are its dimensions and weight?
The instrument measures 194 × 340 × 235 mm overall and has an approximate weight of 11.5 kg.
How is it different from oven drying?
Oven drying needs separate weighings before and after drying, while this balance dries and weighs the sample at the same time and shows the moisture loss as drying proceeds.
What does an export enquiry for the balance need to state?
Include the quantity required, the destination country and port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, any packing requirements and any tender reference.
